Akademik Posted May 17, 2004 A PSYCHOLOGICAL GAME Intelligent minds saunter the streets to engage in an intellectual discussion about our faith. Their appearence may infuriate you,however,their intentions are more threatening. Out of respect you stop and listen to their exposition. In a well planned strategy they question whether you believe in god and the day of judgement. Whether you believe in heaven and hell. Your response to each question is "of course yes,yes,yes,and yes." After trapping you into a helpless submission they leave behind a beautiful brochure entited "Islam or Christianity." Unable to refute due to lack of knowledge or whatever the case may be; you'r now compelled to take the brochure and go home with doubts and defeat. As you browse through the pamphlet you lap up all source of obsurd things about your faith. As a result, you may subconsciously ask yourself why is it that a jew can grow his beard in order to practice his faith......But when a muslim does the same, he is "lapelled" as an extremist? Why is it that a nun can be covered from head to toe in order to devote herself to god......But when a muslim woman does the same she is oppressed? The question is not WHY but rather HOW can you as an individual successfully convey the message of your faith to others in a proper manner. Let us then not blame those who embody to insinuate vile things about our faith. Let us then acquire the knowledge and wisdow to overcome the psychological barrier. Subsequently, some of us may degrade the effect of such psychological barrier. However, keep in mind that it's an effect after all. "If are is such a thing as the OLD TESTAMENT and the NEW TESTAMENT, then surely there is the LAST TESTAMENT." Read the QUR'AN the LAST TESTAMENT. The most positive book in the world.
